"Star Wars: Episode VII" (2015; 32 years)

Disney/Lucasfilm

The biggest sequel time gap on our list is also one of the most anticipated, the next film in the "Star Wars" saga "Star Wars: Episode VII."

With the return of fan favorites like Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil, and Carrie Fisher along with a bunch of talented newcomers, "Episode VII" is bound to be the biggest "Star Wars" film since 1984's "Return of the Jedi."

Sure, the film is only 10 years off from "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" but considering that director JJ Abrams may be going back to the original trilogy's practical style (and many fans would like to just forget the prequels outright) we'll consider this a true sequel.

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” (2010; 23 Years)

After an Oscar-winning performance for “Wall Street,” the announcement of a sequel with Michael Douglas more than two decades after the original was extremely exciting.

"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" was met with decidedly mixed reviews. Some adored the references to the original film and loved the return of Douglas’ Gordon Gekko, while others were totally bored.

Shia LaBeouf, who was also in "Crystal Skull," also starred in the film.

“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (2008; 19 Years)

Lucasfilm / Paramount

Everything seemed in place for the globe-trotting archaeologist to have another hit on his hands almost 20 years after 1989's “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." Harrison Ford was back in the fedora and Steven Spielberg returned to the director’s chair.

The story veered into alien territory (literally) and disappointed many fans of the series. There's always talk of another sequel, but if it’s anything like “Crystal Skull” we’d be afraid to see what they come up with next.

“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (2003; 12 Years)

Arnold said he’d be back and he was, but 12 years after the truly fantastic second film "T2: Judgement Day," "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" was slightly underwhelming.

The plot was familiar, and the action was fun, but it all felt too safe. It was followed by the next film in the franchise "Terminator Salvation" starring Christian Bale which came 6 years after the third film.

A fifth film in the series, "Terminator: Genesis," starring Emilia Clarke from "Game of Thrones" will be released in 2015.

“Scream 4” (2011; 11 Years)

Dimension Films

When horror director Wes Craven announced a sequel to the "Scream" franchise 11 years after the third film, everyone was on the edge of their seats.

With all three major actors (Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courtney Cox) coming back to the series, “Scream 4” was one of the most anticipated releases of 2011.

While it didn't make much money at the box office ($38 million) and some critics dismissed the film as being stale, most felt the film returned to the humor and self-awareness that made the first two movies a scream.

“Men in Black III” (2012; 10 Years)

It took J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) 10 years to return to the secret alien fighting division for "Men in Black III."

The third film in the series improved on the lackluster sequel by changing up the formula. This included time travel and a great Tommy Lee Jones impression by Josh Brolin who played the younger version of Jones' character.

Most found the film entertaining and it went on to be a pretty big box-office hit, bringing in $624 million worldwide.
